Those can't be arsed days?

Im self employed, love the work i do, have some really nice customers but occasionally struggle to get out the front door.

Does this sound familiar?

What do you do to drag your ass through the door?

No different to those who are employed. It's just you have more of a choice. I'm self employed and love the freedom it gives. There are days I take off but ill plan them in my program. This helps reduce the days you don't feel like getting your arse out of bed as you said.

I like to get out and about early, I find if I don't get going early on it becomes a pattern for the rest of the day.

Read my mind. Haha.

I wait till the angry customer phone to see where I am.

If they don't ring, it means they didn't really want me there.

That's where i struggle.

I have regular customers and am booked monday to friday and most alternate sauturdays.

To actually take a day ofc means letting customers down - I always manage to get out the door but its a battle some mornings

I have 2 before work, one gets made on a timer so it's done when I wake up and a good few through the day. If I'm feeling extra rough I'll have a quick shower to wake me up and get my arse in gear

I'm always at first customer for 9 and work through until its too dark to continue, once im out I'm fine but some mornings are "just one more coffee" days...

The money isn't actually my number 1 motivator, dont get me wrong, its up there but its not wanting to let a customer down that usually kicks me into action

Being self-employed equals losing your social life and being at the beck and call of idiots!

Wouldn't swap it though!

On the C.B.A. days I have to remind myself why I have to get out of the front door, also what I have to loose by not doing it.

It doesn't always work, but it does sometimes.

The earlier I get up the easier it is to go to work. I put my phone the other side of the room so I have to get out of bed to turn it off then I come downstairs and have my first cuppa tea and potch about. I've got a child to get to school so I have no choice but be ready.

Worthing

Get up early. It's a pain for first 5 minutes then the body wakes, have breakfast and you are good to go.
